On Thursday afternoon, November 20, 2025, Queen Máxima, in her capacity as honorary chair of More Music in the Classroom, visited Mobiel Primary School in Amsterdam-Zuidoost. Mobiel Primary School is one of the twelve primary schools participating in the largest school band in the Netherlands. The school band performs during the annual Christmas Music Gala, which highlights the importance of music and creative education.
Queen Máxima attended part of a music lesson for groups 7 and 8. The pupils rehearsed the specially written song 'Welkom op ons feestje' (Welcome to Our Party). Afterwards, Queen Máxima spoke with the children about what they had learned, together with presenter Buddy Vedder, who hosts the Christmas Music Gala.
Mobiel Primary School is a small school in Amsterdam-Zuidoost that participates in the School and Environment programme. The school offers an Enriched School Day with a broad cultural programme, both during and after school hours. The More Music in the Classroom Foundation has been committed since 2015 to providing structured music education for all primary school children in the Netherlands and the Caribbean territories.
Maxima, the gift that keeps on giving!
ReplyDeleteHahaha!
DeleteI "like" this one better than the previous one. Or maybe there is less of a surprise this time around? No I seriously think that standing helps, the fabric is in place and looks less awkward

Oui elle anticipe Noël, elle est déjà empaquetée ! Mais il manque le ruban à dénouer ! Paloma.
DeleteLOL. That piece around her shoulders looks like something you’d slip over an automann.
DeleteMessy un-brushed hair, yet again. In-house hair salon, yet this is how she goes out in public. Dreadful!
ReplyDeleteDubious outfit, second wearing, does not look any better this time around than it did a few weeks ago.
On the plus side, the colour of the outfit is not too bad.
Children are smiling for the photos.

You don't know if she brushed her hair or not. Your not liking her hair can be expressed (if it must be expressed for the umptieth time) in a more polite form, blogs should not be cowardly dumping places for rudeness.
DeleteI agree with 16:09. I could not have expressed this better. I too am tired of the rudeness of here.
DeleteThank you Anons 16:09 and 18:37! I couldn't have said it better myself.
DeleteI join @ Anonymous 16:09-18:27- 01:06.
DeleteI discussed some points on the latest post re: Princess Amalia.
I'm increasingly getting the impression that nasty comments are the result of generational gaps , which make some commenters blind to contemporary fashion.
I don't understand why some readers feel so compelled to comment on the young and middle aged royal ladies featured on this blog if they still live stucked in their old fashion world.
I'd tell these readers:
"Please, just comment on older royal women and feel satisfied with it.
Why do you keep on repeating those boring refrains like my dearest eighty- year- old granny used to do?".
Rudeness is a quite different matter.
It is a trans- generational issue stemming from wrong upbringing patterns imv (generally speaking).
As to Queen Maxima, I think that she simply has oily hair and hair loss (seemingly due to a number of bleeching processes), which, I guess, must be hard to treat and keep in place.

DeleteEcht iets voor iemand die niet de handen uit de mouwen hoeft te steken. Bizar statement
ReplyDeleteEens! Ellen
DeleteNee precies. Wat een ontzettend goede comment! Not! Ze werkt waarschijnlijk meer dan jij! Maar maakt niet uit hoor. Net zo makkelijk oordelen toch?!
DeleteIk denk ook dat dit niet erg praktisch is.
DeleteThe top reminds me of a straight jacket. Other than that, a good outfit on Q Maxima and a very worthwhile event.
ReplyDeleteMrs Cleaver
I was actually thinking "straight jacket" too. I don´t think this outfit is flattering. And the bare shoulders peaking out? Not to my liking.
Delete"Flattering" is never her prime objective, but rather having "a statement outfit". Not to my liking either.
DeleteMaxima ha indossato una nuova “camicia di forza” di un bel colore, ma che per me è un no.
ReplyDeleteNonostante ciò, la si ama tanto 💚
J’adore cette couleur vert olive qui.me fait penser à l’été !
ReplyDeleteFor me: less of a surprise now she repeats this weird feature (or is it a bug? :-)), but bad enough. Or: good enough to laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteYou write that in a way that makes the design Maxima’s fault, but this is a Natan design. That fashion house is responsible for this interestingly shaped top. Maxima simply wears it. I think the colour is great on her and with her height and shape, this unusual top is very flattering on her.
Deletead 18:39, there was no need for her to go for it !! Her choice = her responsibility. She could go somewhere else.
DeleteI admire Queen Maxima and usually love her fashion sense. But, the wrap-around portion of this top reminds me of a lamp shade.
ReplyDeleteIndeed she had better cloth in her wardrobe. Horrible 🤣
DeleteHad to laugh at the lampshade comment.
DeleteIs this design?
ReplyDeleteWho thinks of something as unpractical like this?
A straihgt jacket some of you called it, and that is what it is.
Well 14:49, Natan does. It is typical of their designs.
DeleteIt is not a new design from the imagination of Natan. It is just not common.
Deletead 01:10 I agree with you.
DeleteGood heavens. The first photo gives something of a jack-in-the-box impression, with Maxima's arms being completely out of sight. I agree that the outfit looks better when she is standing -- in fact it is growing on me -- but I still wonder how easily she can reapply her lipstick, blow her nose or put on her sunglasses... Lyra
ReplyDeleteSo funny!
DeleteI quite like the upper part of the top, but the lower part makes it too layered. If the fabric underneath was the same fabric as the pants, and more fitting, it would look a lot better. I do like the colour and the concept of the outfit.

Suit not really appropriate for a primary school.
ReplyDeleteIf the queen turns up, it’s a thrill. The kids are obviously delighted and couldn’t care less. The queen of the country gets to decide what is appropriate. I find this whole unusual, neat and flattering. Nothing inappropriate here.
DeleteBecause???? A pants and a top? Where do you live?
DeleteThese comments declaring thing inappropriate are very puzzling. What is so inappropriate about what she is wearing? Bizarre.
DeleteEven if she wears it quite well, I am not a fan.
ReplyDeleteI think Queen Maxima looks amazing. While I don't really like the wrap that she has around her shoulders, Queen Maxima succeeds in making the outfit look great.
ReplyDeleteA perfect summary.
DeleteStrange outfit 😂
ReplyDeleteI agree just not practical.
DeleteShe has this in at least two colours so I think it’s more practical than first look seems. Natan is indeed a strange fashion house, but their strange designs mostly look terrific on Queen Maxima nevertheless.
DeleteWhat a terrible design! The bare shoulders with the tunic don't make it any better. It's also not sustainable, because how often do you wear this? Invest in some truly beautiful clothes and mix and match them more often with all the other outfits hanging in the royal dressing room. There are other versions, including a dress; hopefully, she left that one hanging in Brussels...
ReplyDeleteI saw the dress and I like it. I can only appreciate Maxima for giving interesting designs to look at. Even when she has misses, we are looking at a variety of outfits. I will gladly take Maxima's fashion choices over seeing a few of the royals in their boring, repetitive outfits that have become their work uniforms. They leave us nothing new to see and comment on.
DeleteI love the color of this ensemble. The design doesn't appeal to me, but I applaud the Queens tenacity and effort to look to new designs and lets face it she is not boring.
ReplyDeleteA mess. Bad hair, as usual, and ill fitting ugly Natan outfit.
ReplyDeleteThis suit is ruined by the ridiculous design of the top. It's a great color, Queen Maxima looks marvelous, and then the design ruins it all. By the way--I adore scuba material--very comfortable and perfect for changeable weather in the fall and winter. I own several tops and trousers in this material but all of mine are leisure wear--nothing dressy like this suit.
